Answers
Answer:
1) Cotton=Comfortable to wear.
Natural, cellulosic fiber
2) Flax=Colour – yellowish to gray.
Length – 18 to 30 inches.
3) Silk=Good insulator.
Lightweight
4) jute= tenacity, bulkiness, sound & heat insulation property, low thermal conductivity
5) hemp=Three times stronger than cotton.
Good abrasion resistance/very durable.
Answer:
1. Cotton:Cotton fibers are natural hollow fibers; they are soft, cool, known as breathable fibers and absorbent.
2.Flax:Flax (Linen) is made difficult to bleach than cotton, its huge amount of impurities, like pectin and gum.
3.Silk:Silk has a smooth, soft texture that is not slippery, unlike many synthetic fibers. Silk is one of the strongest natural fibers, but it loses up to 20% of its strength when wet
4.Jute:Jute fibre has some unique physical properties like high tenacity, bulkiness, sound & heat insulation property, low thermal conductivity, antistatic property etc. Due to these qualities, jute fibre is more suited for the manufacture of technical textiles in certain specific areas.
5.Hemp:Three times stronger than cotton.
Good abrasion resistance/very durable.
Anti-microbial and UV resistance.
Naturally resistant to mold, mildew, rot.
Readily takes dyes.
